Practical guide

Show product colours without making accuracy promises

Colour presentation should help viewers distinguish variants while acknowledging that the displayed appearance can differ between viewing conditions.

Colour presentation should help viewers distinguish variants while acknowledging that the displayed appearance can differ between viewing conditions.

A practical procedure

  1. Use the same lighting and camera position when showing different colour variants.

  2. Display the official variant name beside each item and avoid changing filters between comparisons.

  3. Show any available physical colour reference and direct uncertain buyers to current product photographs or samples.

Worked example: a fictional session

A fictional scarf seller labels two similar shades 'Sand' and 'Cream' and shows them together instead of promising either will match every phone display.

Check the limits

Avoid claiming that an ordinary livestream provides a guaranteed colour match.
